“We’re not talking about doing the same work in less time. We’re looking at your business processes to figure out how you can deliver the same output with fewer and more efficient inputs.” The 5-day work week has been a familiar concept since the early 1900s, and it’s hard to imagine life without it. But the 5-day week concept was originally designed with the idea that the working individual had a spouse at home to take care of the domestic duties, and this isn’t nearly as common today. This leads to a burnt-out workforce with an uneven work-life balance. In comes the concept of a 4-day work week - but how would you implement it? In today’s episode of HR in 15, we’re continuing our conversation with Joe O’Connor, Chief Executive Officer of 4 Day Week Global.
